Points well made Homeless. There often appears to be one rule for X and another for Y ...again cyberlife mirroring real life. I'm with you that respect also includes treating peoples' questions and views (however many times they are asked)with a degree of sensitivity. I'm no saint but that's what I try to do here. And I've usually received back respectful and helpful answers...including helpful posts from people generally regarded rude and malicious by certain others.mcmoo
